Oh piss off. Would it kill them to consult fans on this kind of thing? I personally don’t wear football shirts but I think most people would prefer to wear/watch us play in something other than a fucking grey and orange Chelsea kit.

A white away kit looks classy and nods towards our history of having some rather sexy kits.

Both of these kits remind me of the grey Manchester United kit which they famously ditched after one heavy defeat, and which had been designed to look good with jeans rather than a thought given to how it'd look on a football pitch.
